Chapter 112 Ex-Wife
Calhoun's POV
Five hours ago.
"Oh my God, Calhoun," Natalie rushes to hug me and I just close my eyes in their sockets because I wasn't expecting this reaction from her.
I wasn't expecting this from her after I made myself clear the last time she came to visit me at my office. But it seems like she's already having the wrong idea of what I'm here for.
Shit.
"I can't believe you came for me at last," Natalie hugs me harder and buries her head in my neck, sniffing on my scent.
Sniffing on me was a die-hard habit of hers,
I don't push her away. I am waiting for her to get done and then I'll speak.
Natalie... is she being delusional or something?
How can she put up such high hopes upon seeing me, thinking I came for her? She hasn't been seeing anyone this whole time? It's been five months.
Wait a minute, does this mean Kristen isn't here?
"I thought I lost you forever, I cried myself to sleep when I recalled the good memories we had and even our wedding day," Natalie finally steps back and takes my hand in hers, before holding it up to her lips and kissing it.
Coming here was a wrong idea. I can't have any other women touching me except Kristen. And I am not yet done with Emilia
Dante, Alpha Morrison's daughter, nor can I deal with Natalie and her obsession with me right now.
Slowly, I pull my hand away because it's too uncomfortable for my liking.
How can my ex-wife be so happy to see me? How can she hurriedly conclude that I came so we could reunite?
I'd be damned if I left Kristen for someone else. Since Natalie and I separated, there was never a time I thought about us reconciling.
"I'm sorry if I went overboard, I was just overwhelmed by my emotions," Natalie has this awkward smile on her face as she fixes her gaze on the floor, moves backward, and tucks some strands of her dark blonde hair behind her ear.
For a moment I feel bad for her.
With the way she's staring at me, no doubt she still has those feelings for me. Something which is probably unhealthy for her, since I already moved on from her.
Again, Is Kristen truly not here or Natalie is just doing this to make me pity her? Is she even in her right state of mind?
And if Kristen is truly here, that means Natalie would've known about the pregnancy, and I'm not sure she'll take it likely. Because she signed the divorce papers and returned only to ask I take her back.
Having a baby with her daughter would seem like a blow to her. Excluding that, she'd be a grandmother thirty-seven.
Clenching my jaw, I turn around to leave as quickly as I had arrive. I haven't said anything and it's best I don't until I'm out of here.
"Wait, Calhoun, where are you going?" Natalie grabs my hand and looks at me with a confused gaze.
"You just arrived, how can you just leave like that, huh?" There's a sadness and longing in her eyes as she looks at me.
And I take a sharp breath.
"Have you seen Kristen?" I drag these words out of my throat at last.
"What?" Natalie blinks in confusion, "you mean you came here just to ask me about my daughter?"
And I clench my jaw because I was trying to avoid this. It was stupid of me to come here anyway. I should've stayed away just like I have in the past five months.
But because of the fear of losing my mate, I came, silently hoping I would find her here even though it's one of the dumbest things to think about.
Showing up here just reopened Natalie's fresh wounds. I was supposed to stay away from her as far as possible. And if I wasn't in search of Kristen, I never would have stepped foot here.
"How could you do this to me?" Natalie pounds her fists into my
chest and starts weeping.
"You just fucking showed up out of the blue and I was foolish to think you wanted us to work things out, only to have you ask about Kristen. What the fuck!?"
"My apologies," I say silently before recoiling and taking steps away from her.. because she looks mad and it seems as though she's going
to attack me.
"Fuck you, Calhoun! Fuck you for putting me through so much pain! "She curses.
"You signed the divorce papers, dammit!" My yell is even louder
than hers.
And currently, we're like two insane people because we're shouting
at the top of our voices.
"I wasn't in my right state of mind!" Natalie defends herself.
"You said I could be with your daughter," I turn my back to her immediately I reminded her of this.
"And I never meant any of those words. I wanted you to see how much I was because of you," Natalie puts her fisted hand against her
chest.
"I can't deal with this right now," with my back to her, I head towards where I had my car parked. Wishing I could wind back time to refrain from showing up here in the first place.
"I hate you, Calhoun! I wish you'd be as miserable as you've made
me. I can't even live a normal life because of how much you hurt me, " she wails as she looks at me with so much pain in her eyes. And it sucks that I can as well feel these emotions because we were together
before.
"You divorced me just so you could be with a child that I brought into this world. Damn you, Calhoun!" Natalie stares at me with so much spite. And I know at this point if she's given the opportunity to dish out harm, she will.
She keeps crying and hauling insults at me until I drive away.
Feeling ten times worse than I did before I arrived.
